Shaun was born the "baby" in a family of 4 children. Shaun followed a storied list of S's that came before him. Steve, Scott and Sue. At an early age, Shaun had an inkling he wanted some form of "limelight", when he would go behind the front window curtains at their home in Neenah, Wis. to sing into the plastic knob at the end of the curtain drawstrings. Even then, Shaun preferred smaller, more "intimate" crowds as he would only allow his mother to view him, anyone else looking behind the curtain would always lead to the typical "actors "huff" as Shaun would storm off into another room all willy nilly with rage at being interrupted. Shaun's early background was "screwing around" in musicals at Menasha High School and later at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh. There, his love of film really came to the fore. After college, Shaun found he might be "kind of funny" and also developed a love for improv by performing first with Theatersports in Oshkosh, and then later with Comedy City in Depere, Wisconsin. A few things Shaun feels proud in his life are: taking classes from Keith Johnstone and later classes at the Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles. Also Shaun is proud to be a 5 year and running volunteer for the Sundance Film Festival and Sundance summer labs. Lastly, Shaun is most proud of never giving up on the dream and at the tender age of 37 he moved out to LA to "give it a shot".
